What we really, really need, for us bittervets who incessantly complain and for the nubs who always want new ships, is not some form of wormhole mini-carrier, nor a T2 Orca to transport Incursion bears ships between constellations within Domain because they are too thick to hit the A button and go spank it to Mintchip vids. Nor do we need another variety of T2 destroyer with cloak and logistics and a command ship bonus. Nor do we even need or want tech 3 frigs or BS's.

Newp.

We need T2 noobships.

Why? Because its pretty damn simple, brah. I have 80M skillpoints, my clones are worth more than half the ships I fly, and every time I dock in a station I get some peon's crotch-protector of a noobship. It totally is not befitting the style, sophistication or wallet balance to which I have become accustomed as a bittervet.

I want a reaper with gold piping, and chrome exhaust pipes, when my toons get over an abitrary level of skillpoints, which I will set at 80M because, lets face it, this is all about ME.

Being an elite noobship...in fact, hold that thought, I am so far beyond noob I don't even WANT a noobship. Why do I get a noobship when clearly I am not? So lets call it a bittervetship, or a Vetship.

My vetship, aside from the chrome pipes and 21" spinner rims, will get Tech 2 bonuses. They will be so far beyond the realms of mere mortals and other space peons people will be jellymad, and let me lay out the list of specifications my Vetship will have.

Two civilian miners. Yes, two. A man needs to mine like a pro.Two units ofcomplimentray tritanium. No, screw that, I want a free unit of morphite and a stripper.An extra midslot, for a total of two, which will allow me to fit both a survey scanner and a cargo scanner.An extra lowslot, for a grand total of two. This will allow me to double-nano it so I can win the illegal street races held behind Jita 4-4. Bitches will be trippin'But, being T2, it will get 2 rig slots.

Powergrid and CPU can be the same.

Yeah. This is the best damn idea for a new ship class ever.The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.Sun Tzu@trinketsfriend on twatter

Would the T3 noob ship have a diverse choice of subsystems, say one with a bonus to civilian miners and one with a bonus to cargo scanners? I could get behind that.

Noobships are so OP already and you want MORE of them!? Do you know how it feels for a vet to join the game and finally enter Highsec, only to discover that every alliance has at least fifty Impairors or Ibis'?

Noobship tracking shouldn't be able to hit ANY subcaps unless they're not moving. Nerf the Impairor so it can't carry as many drones! Do you EVER see any Minmatar rookie ships flying around? NO IT'S ALL AMARR ROOKIE SHIPS

NERF 1.0 ASTEROID BELTS AND MAEK THEM GIVE BOUNTIES INSTEAD OF TRITANIUM and we can FINALLY see an end to noobship proliferation.

So as a vet you want to have even more of an advantage over noobs who pay the exact same amount of subscription fees?

I never thought I'd be one of those gtfo people but GTFO."don't get us wrong, we don't want to screw new players, on the contrary. The core problem here is that tech 1 frigates and cruisers should be appealing enough to be viable platforms in both PvE and PvP." -a - CCP Ytterbium

How about you get a vindicator with officer mods? Seriously wheres the point of having a t2 rookie ship? Pretty much everyone of us with more than 10 mil income per day is beyond a noob level and should get something better than such a peace of crap. I would rather support an option to disable this fuckin ship spawn. If Im traveling in a Pod through HSec, Im much faster in my Pod than in a rookie ship.

i totaly support this, i would even say that once your toon goes past say 50 million skill points you should qualify for a t2 noobship maybe not even t2, just a cooler looking modal or something

I've actually always thought that milestones should be celebrated in-game by some sort of achievement

Ex:When you're born, you get regular noobshipsWhen you hit 10msp, you get bronze-plated noobshipsWhen you hit 50msp, you get maybe a silver noobshipWhen you hit 100msp, you get gold plated noobships

Nothing different about the ships themselves. Maybe just cooler skins.

In PotBS which is like Simplified EVE in the Caribbean, which has a more traditional RPG level system, your "noobship" you get for free when your last ship sinks goes up with level. The top level one is roughly equivalent to something like a BC.

K, sorry to interrupt you trolls, but why don't we just get an option to not have a noob ship at all? Some days I can hardly be bothered trashing them if they pop up. I don't want them any more, I want to turn them off unless I want one. Which I don't.

CCP should be giving us the option to not get a rookie frig at all because I don't see them taking the idea of a T2 noobship very seriously.
